Having just watched the England women and USA women, I am curious as to whether some of the rules changes include blocking, as the number of USA women standing in front of England players obstructing all went unpunished.

🐝 NEW: Wasps have formally submitted an expression of interest to the RFU to join the Championship.

They will be re-establishing themselves in the South East with a focus on Kent and Greater London.

That’s now Wasps, London Irish and Worcester who have submitted an application!

Yep all part of the RFU getting them back and in the Premiership asap. Not sure how happy the other clubs in the Championship will be.

Hull KR taking on Wigan tonight in the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford tonight.

East Hull is empty as they have seemingly all crossed the Penines, West Hull is rather quiet!


I’ve just returned from Hull after dropping my daughter off. I was wrong about it being quiet, they are all at the fair.

Hate that it’s Umbro. That’s a cruddy football brand.
The least of their problems when a privileged 'Clap & kick' stadium decides its OK to insult the cultural tradition of the NZ Haka, by using & also insulting yet another by singing a Slave song as their Anthem. Some things just have to change in the New World!!

You are right to some extent but also the team needs to be able to face the challenge. See the recent rugby league or the classic Cockers verses Norm Hewtiit (may he rest in peace) the loud singing of swing low came about as a result of keeping the teams at a distance. The heritage of the song is a whole different debate which I agree needs discussing and shoudl include not using God Save the King as the English national anthem
